distribution and party’s involvement in Non Banking Financial Company’s (NBFC) scam in Tripura damaged the fame and glory of communists. In the last election in 2013, the party in power directly used a section of state civil service officers and lower grade employees for manipulating the electioneering. Even CPI-M intruded their large number of cadres in opposition’s rally when Prime Minister or any other central leader of Congress came for addressing public rally. It made a sense of satisfaction to the opposition and it also confused the central leadership but it was not reflected in the voting.
Preston Tynsong veteran Congress leader and Cabinet Minister from Pynursla yet becoming a prominent rebel of his parent party have ultimately shifted to the National People Party (NPP). On the other hand the Congress has fielded a green horn Dr. Jelington Ryndong, experience in a medical field in the Ganesh Das Hospital, Shillong. Ryndong was however giving clearance right from the block level and also East Khasi Hills District Committee. Preston Tynsong has an advantage of already having vote banks in Pynursla. Yet Congress faithfulls are expected to try out Dr. Jelington Ryndong for a change.
